Stress Test Install on Launcher - Blizzard Clarifications

Earlier today, the stress test install for WoW Classic showed up on the Blizzard launcher, leading players to think they were invited to test AV. As the button was greyed out, this led to further confusion where players thought realms were down.\r\rIt turns out this was a bit of unfortunate timing, where Blizzard changed how things are presented on the launcher the same days as a special AV test. \r\rSo to clarify, Alterac Valley is not open for stress testers, only regular WoW Classic beta testers. \r\r\rEarlier today, we made the stress test install appear on the game screen of the launcher for all players who have installed it. This is to make it possible to uninstall easily.

Nice. Another taunt to throw at us non-streaming peasants.

I'm just confused as to why Blizz hasn't increased the amount of people to beta. Literally every single person playing\/streaming the beta have said they think it's dumb Blizz hasn't invited more people. Like this little mistake doesn't bother me but I would be nice to get a chance to play the beta.

Great trolling. Surely they are energy vampires and receive power when #nobetaclub come into a rage.

Beta is not pre-launch early access. No one "deserves" beta access.

Playing since 2005, still can't get in to Beta. \rYou'd think they'd want people who have been playing with a continuous subscription for about 14 years to be in it. \rok - Done whining lol\r\rBut I will check out what I can to see if it's the same as it used to be during the stress tests! Good luck all!

Getting real tired of seeing this amount of QQ over beta access. \r1. No one "deserves beta access". Don't care if it's 2 years, or 14 years of being subscribed, this isn't a demo or early access. It's a beta, and the purpose is originally for blizzard to test their systems etc.\r2. The F'ing streamers. (As someone who has been around since TBC and doesn't have beta) I still think it is really smart for blizzard to let a lot of streamers in, especially the more popular ones. Want to know why? \rWhen someone as popular (and hated) as Asmongold streams the game, he has tens of thousands of eye pairs staring at his gameplay. If people spot something that's out of place or wrong, they will spam the chat with it 100%. The chat will also clip any "bugs" or "inconsistencies" as we have seen time and time again. There you have a single beta tester that has thousands of (more or less autistic) minds behind him, and the capability of taking a video clip of any noticed bug without losing any time playing the beta. Also streamers tend to better organize crazy events which will test the servers and the mechanics of the game. Like Asmongold just casually got a raid together to kite a worldboss into Stormwind to murder everyone.

To be fair though, was kind of stupid. Not because of streamers.

It's well known that many long-term 14+ year customers have been ignored in favor of streamers who were barely born when WoW came out. Blizz already has multiple PR issues, why create more? They are their own worst enemy.
